Ran 162 races tonight. Man.

Hurricane Gulch is still a beast after all these years.

@Mr_Mustache
Wow impressive, I remember playing Off Road, is Super Off Road any different? I looked up screens and it looks similar. Man those games were hard as balls!

Also, awesome splash screen:

I've got Super Off-Road on the SNES. Indeed a fun franchise. Simple and easy to get into.

I have always been a big fan of these games. I much prefer playing the arcade version with the wheel and pedal though!

@deathly_hallows

That screen really is good, and the music in that game; I've never heard anyone talking about it. So good.
Hopefully we can wrangle enough of you dudes for Rochester in '14 so we can break out some 4p action.

I got in the habit of seeing when Ivan was on one of his "there is no chance of you beating me" runs, and I just took my time going around the track. At that point, when money is no object, there is no apparent penalty between finishing 2nd or 4th. I always thought that 2nd was BETTER than 3rd (like, you don't lose a Continue or something), but its all the same. Conserve Nitros, live to fight another day. Beat the game. Tell your friends.

@ploot

I can't get the hang of the wheels there. If my Mustang wheel was hooked up, I'd be cruisin'. I think I need force feedback for those, or something. We do have one locally up in the City..

As others can attest, I was a beast at this game at the Emporium arcade bar in Chicago. Total beast mode.

Is this the one with the real wheels and gas? Because if so I sucked. I'm usually ok at it.

I recall seeing the arcade unit of this game at a local swimming pool when I was very young. At the time it was the most advanced video game I had ever seen, so I was fascinated by it... but never actually played it, just watched other kids do so. I've always meant to buy the SNES version, but I get the feeling the game doesn't hold up, so it's probably best left as a memory of wonderment.

@TheOldManFromZelda

I think I was overwhelmed by something. I'd like to run again at Hot Shots sometime or something.

@Zero

Yes.

@Mop it up

It IS pretty advanced, isn't it? And the game totally holds up, at least the NES version doesn't. I can't imagine the SNES version being "worse." You should be fine!

@Mop it up

The SNES version is the superior version because it includes the bonus tracks.

This is one of those meat-and-potatoes arcade cabs that were everywhere in the late 80s/early 90s. I really liked it, but was never actually any good at it.

That's basically all I remember about it. Other than girls in bikinis.

@TheOldManFromZelda

Do you have it??

@kriswright

Huh. I think they covered 'em up with dresses on NES..
